Information about the Centre

Since 2007, no fewer than 10 new physicians have joined the team, making the UZ Brussel Cardiovascular Centre Belgium's fastest-growing centre. Two new catheterisation labs were opened during the last year, one of them equipped with a unique system for magnetic navigation. The total number of beds in the Centre recently doubled and we now perform more than 2,000 coronary examinations and operations and about 1,000 electrophysiological procedures every year. On top of this, the Centre is the only training centre in Belgium accredited by the European Heart Rhythm Association for Electrophysiology Training.

The Centre has grown in all subspecialities of cardiology (interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, non-invasive cardiac imaging, heart failure, cardiac rehabilitation and more) and is not only a Centre of Excellence within the UZ Brussels but is also a nationally and internationally renowned reference centre. In 2007, the departments of Cardiology, Electrophysiology (Ritmology) and Cardiac Surgery were amalgamated into the Cardiovascular Centre Brussels. The increased cooperation between these departments ensures a systematic multidisciplinary approach, benefiting the patient.
